Annex 4: Security guidelines for participants

Security in Medellin has notably improved. Nevertheless, it is advised you follow basic precautions as outlined:

 DO keep yourself informed about the general security situation and monitor local news events.  DO raise your personal security awareness.  DO ensure that you carry identification and emergency contact numbers with you.  DO NOT flaunt your wealth—dress and behave modestly to avoid unnecessary attention by criminals.

At your accommodation  Keep your door locked at all times, even when you are in your room.  DO NOT open your door to a stranger unless you have determined his/her identity. If you are unable to determine your visitor’s identity, do not open the door.  Lock your valuables in a safe or locker. If neither option is available, keep valuables well hidden when not in use.  DO NOT throw documents containing confidential personal information (e.g., credit card numbers, personal correspondence, financial data) in public trash canisters.  DO NOT enter your room if you find the door unlocked. Inform reception immediately.  DO NOT leave the ‘Please service the room’ sign on the door when you are out.  While you are out in the evening leave the ‘Do not disturb’ sign on the door.

Out and about  Plan your journey beforehand.  Carry only those things that you will need including minimum amounts of cash and credit cards.  Remain alert to your surroundings.  Never leave your handbag or personal belongings unattended.  Walk in well-lit and well-trafficked areas.  Write down the name and address of your accommodation, and carry the paper with you if you need to get a taxi back to your accommodation.  Taxis should be arranged through proper dispatchers or hotels. Pay the driver before exiting the vehicle.  It is advisable not to enter a taxi in which the driver is accompanied.

Carriage of handbags and laptop bags  If you are going to a café, bar or restaurant, consider leaving the bag at home or carrying a bag smaller in size that can be managed easily.  Do not leave your bag unattended at any time—hand the bag physically to a friend when going to the bathroom. Consider placing a chair leg through the strap of the bag and the bag placed firmly under the table touching your feet.  Leave valuables at the hotel—never take items with you that you are not prepared to lose.  When walking along the sides of the road always sling your bag across your body carrying your bag away from the threat or positioned to the front of your body.  Tightly grip the top of the bag while walking.
